    Fun Post a Funny/Weird/Interesting Video!

    One of the many Santa caught on tape videos out there, and arguably the best/funniest one. Skip to the nine minute mark for the part where it gets really funny.

    Review Stan Lee

    I can't think of a tribute to make for him that already hasn't been done, so here's my full playthrough of Spider-Man 2000 instead. Stan Lee narrates the openings of four out of the six chapters, and it's awesome. RIP Stan Lee.

    Fun Any quotes you don't care for?

    "Life isn't fair." While technically true, this quote is very overused. School teachers in particular would say it in order to defend their use of collective punishment (a practice I view as criminal, but that's a rant for another day). I would say "collective punishment isn't fair," and they...

    Fun Our Early Posts!

    Must be hard for them to go around and get along with people in life then. I don't consider myself either democrat or republican, but I lean more toward the republican side, and everywhere I go there's hundreds of people with beliefs that differ from mine. But it doesn't matter. We all get along...

    Poll The Best Holmes?

    I have to go with Jeremy Brett. He's the closest to what I pictured when I read the books (though the others do a very good job as well). My only nitpick would be that the costume designers didn't ditch that ridiculous deerstalker cap. That hat is never explicitly mention in the books, and even...

    Review Young Sherlock Holmes (1985)

    It's a "what-if" story. The disclaimer at the end of the film states that the people who wrote the movie tried to stay faithful to the spirit and characterization of the original stories, with the major difference being when Holmes and Watson first met. Basically, it's a story that very...

    Fun The Joke Thread

    Three scientists decided to study flies, and to discuss their observations and conclusions the next day. The first scientist took a fly, and pulled off its wings. He said, "Fly fly." But the fly just sat there. He said, "Fly walk," and the fly walked away. The second scientist took a fly, and...

    Review Aladdin (2019)

    And already, everything is CGI right from the start, sand dunes and everything. What happened to practical effects in movies? They really couldn't take a few weeks to film some scenes in an actual desert?

    Review The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

    I wish somebody would just take the original ETA Hoffmann story and adapt that. While the ballet is fairly simple and would need to be expanded upon in order to make a complete movie, the original story is very complex, and could make a really good movie. Unfortunately, nobody ever reads the...

    Review The Prince of Egypt (1998)

    (My review): (The following review contains my religious opinions on it. I have tried to be fair and analyze the film based on film quality as well, but I cannot review a Bible-based film without getting my religious opinions involved in it someplace.) Being raised in a Christian family (and...

    Review Peter Rabbit (2018)

    Just saw it on Netflix. Holy crap, it's so terrible. I remember a behind the scenes video with the cast and crew on YouTube, where they said that this movie still follows the spirit of the book, but now that I've seen the movie, I wonder what book they were reading. This movie does not resemble...

    Review Batman & Robin (1997)

    This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. I saw it back before I was really at the age where I could judge movies based on their quality, and I thought it was hilarious. Having re-watched it and compared it to other Batman movies, it really isn't great. It appears to be trying to do an homage to...

    Review Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)

    I have a copy of this movie on a Mill Creek bargain bin Christmas movie DVD. I've been meaning to watch it just to see what it's like, but I've never gotten around to it.

    Fun Your Favourite Books & Authors!

    I managed to obtain a copy of the novelization of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man recently. I'm going to read it and see how it compares to the movie. A problem with a lot of these novelizations is that the screenplay was never intended to be literature, but a visual medium.

    Review Aladdin (2019)

    All I can say is, if this movie is happening, they better completely rewrite the character of the Genie in order to make him as different as possible in tone from the animated version of him, because in my opinion nobody can replace Robin Williams as the character as depicted in the animated...

    Review The Hobbit (1977)

    (My review) This and the 2003 video game were my introductions to the story. For a long time, this was how I visualized the story when I read the book. It's been suggested to me that the reason Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy wasn't as good as I expected was because I was expecting it to live up...

    Review The Worst Witch (2017) - s01e07 - Maud's Big Mistake

    Previous Episode: https://www.imdforums.com/threads/the-worst-witch-2017-s01e06-the-best-teacher.5113/ This episode was quite a surprise. It's very much an "It's a Wonderful Life" type of story, illustrating how circumstances change drastically just by altering a few events, with a different...
